A sex worker has allegedly stabbed a bartender to death over N200 liquor change in Adamawa State.
The state police command has arrested the sex worker, Riyanatu Musa, for allegedly stabbing the bar man, Yohanna Musa, in a fit of anger over the said money.
The sex worker, based in Mubi South Local Government Area, killed the barman after the two disagreed over an N200 balance the barman was supposed to collect from her.
Riyanatu Musa, confessing the crime to the police, narrated that she had collected dry gin known as ‘Big Ben’ and one other drink from Yohana Musa and promised to pay the following day, saying that she paid N1,500 remaining the balance of N200.
She explained that a fight ensued between her and the victim when he demanded his money and in the course of it, she stabbed him with a knife in the chest.
She denied insinuation that she stabbed Yohana under the influence of liquor, stressing that she did not take the drinks that fateful day.
She expressed regret over her action, but the state Police Public Relations, SP Suleiman Nguroje said the Commissioner of Police, Morris Dankombo, has ordered further investigation into the matter and warned members of the public from taking the law into their own hands.
